Well, that was more than five years ago..... time flies..... for the first few years, I used to drive to UTP to pick him up every or alternate weekend... the roads are so familiar to me that it was like "auto cruise" in my head already....
Then during his 3rd year onwards, he drove an old junk car ... and during his final year, he drove his Viva.... and on the 16th October 2011, he finally received his honours.... after 5 years of "biting fingers" in his studies.... (check his fingernails, they do not grow!) LOL....
Guess I will not be going into UTP anymore... hence more pictures for sweet memoirs....
behind me is the former PM's car...
family members waiting for the ceremony to end...
waiting anxiously....
guess what this is....
its their amazing library....
my girl was fascinated...
me with SIL...
Tay... he is very jovial!
Thank you Gabriel... for being with us...
Really appreciate you coming all the way....
Pity Andy.... waking up early but never get to sit....
but to wait for few hours walking here and there...
thank goodness your sister is around to "jerk" you up!
some pictures to behold...
and most importantly...
....Thank God for His blessings and Grace upon us....
Congratulations to Aaron and to his Mom!! Your smile was so huge, it was almost became a grinning glee! hehe

What great family pictures! You look so pretty holding the flowers. What kind of job does he want now? Is he at home? The library is amazing, have never seen anything like it. I tried to make it bigger to get a better look. Just caught up on your post from yesterday, a happy party!!! I would have loved those fired noodles, and the dragon fruit pudding looks SO pretty!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Aaron and to you too :)
ReplyDeleteAnt: i have to take a second look at the pics.. hahaa... i do grin wide hor?
ReplyDeleteginny: my son is working already yes.. i like the pudding in that restaurant.. something sweet and nice..
yummylittlecooks: thanks!
congrats to Aaron!
ReplyDeletelooking at the pictures, UTP seems to be a structurally impressive institution. if only the govt would spend wisely for the rakyat's benefit.
Banyak canggih... no wonder my students always tell me private institution is more attractive than govt's. In terms of infrastructure, USM is so backward...
ReplyDeletewhat a smart boy you have there.. oops man already! :) So I'll be expecting him to start working in Petronas soon? :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your son and most especially to you!!!

Nice pictures, the library looks great.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
Ooooo....so nice the place, such fond memories. Don't think I'll have any of that dump that my daughter goes to in Sungai Petani. Could have been a decently-nice place but poor management and bad administration.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your son and to you. You sure look like a proud mama - every reason to be.
ReplyDeletedoc: yes, it was very impressive in fact.. formerly it was UPM...
ReplyDeletepam: USM is not bad! I heard UM is more "rundown?"
isaac: Lots of graduates nowadays.. but not during my days.. guess everyone is smarter now.. hahaha..
loi: can see from my face, right? hahaa..
filip: yes, i m impressed too..
stp: that is not surprising to hear from the local U-s.. if only they are maintained properly.. i m sure funds are enough but see who is in charge of them..
kiddothings: my teeth shows all, right? hahaha..
Congratz! Seems like 'square hat' *sei fong moh* is in fashion.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I can see the joy shine through your big smile! You have captured the precious moment nicely. Thanks for sharing your joy with us!
ReplyDeleteWhat handsome men in your life right now, Claire! Again, my warmest congratulations to your son. I am glad he has a job already. Many graduates in the US do not.
ReplyDeleteOh My goodness... the library, I wish I was studying there too, lol! Your boy makes everyone proud of him!
ReplyDeleteCongrats ^^ Happy mom... haha
